Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dimethyl carbonate production technology, specifically a dimethyl carbonate extraction device. Background Technology
[0002] Dimethyl carbonate (DMC), as an important green chemical product, is widely used in many fields such as organic synthesis, coatings, and electronic chemicals due to its good reactivity and low toxicity. During the extraction and production of DMC, tail gases are inevitably generated. These tail gases typically contain unreacted raw materials, intermediate products, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as DMC. If these tail gases are not effectively treated, it will not only waste resources but also cause serious harm to the environment and human health.
[0003] If the condensable organic compounds in the tail gas produced during dimethyl carbonate (DMC) production are not effectively recovered, it will not only waste resources but also aggravate environmental pollution. Traditional tail gas treatment methods often struggle to achieve both efficient recovery and compliance with emission standards. Furthermore, some key components in tail gas treatment equipment, such as activated carbon adsors, are complex and time-consuming to replace, affecting the continuous operation of the equipment.
[0004] To address this issue, the present invention provides a dimethyl carbonate extraction device that solves the aforementioned problem by setting the activated carbon filter sheet to a plug-in locking structure, allowing the filter sheet to be automatically locked and unlocked by pressing.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Example 1:
[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 A dimethyl carbonate extraction device includes an extraction device 1, a cooling mechanism 2 connected to one end of the extraction device 1, a recovery tank 3 provided at the bottom of the cooling mechanism 2, and an activated carbon adsorber 4 connected to the top of the cooling mechanism 2. The activated carbon adsorber 4 includes an activated carbon filter 44. The upper and lower surfaces of the activated carbon adsorber 4 are provided with parallel slots 41. A limiting block 42 is provided inside the slot 41. A spring 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting block 42. The end of the spring 43 away from the limiting block 42 is fixedly connected to the activated carbon adsorber 4. A slot 45 is provided in the middle of the upper and lower surfaces of the activated carbon filter 44. A pressing block 47 is movably connected to the front end of the activated carbon filter 44. A connecting rod 48 is fixedly connected to both ends of the pressing block 47. A push block 49 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 48. A spring 410 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 48 away from the pressing block 47.
[0029] Spring 410 is installed inside the activated carbon filter 44, and its end away from the connecting rod 48 is fixedly connected to the activated carbon filter 44. The connecting rod 48 is movably installed inside the activated carbon filter 44. A groove 46 is opened on the front surface of the activated carbon filter 44. The outer diameter of the activated carbon filter 44 matches the inner diameter of the slot 41. The activated carbon filter 44 is movably installed with the activated carbon adsorber 4 through the slot 41. The right end of the activated carbon adsorber 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 411.
[0030] In this embodiment, after the flue gas enters the activated carbon adsorber 4, the residual small molecules are adsorbed by the activated carbon filter 44 set inside the activated carbon adsorber 4. By setting multiple sets of activated carbon filter 44, the exhaust gas can be fully adsorbed. The exhaust gas with the adsorbed residual small molecules is discharged from the activated carbon adsorber 4 through the connecting pipe 411. When the activated carbon filter 44 needs to be replaced, the user only needs to press the pressing block 47. The pressing block 47 carries the connecting rod 48 to move towards the spring 410. The push block 49 located above the connecting rod 48 pushes the limiting block 42 out of the slot 45, so that the limiting block 42 can no longer limit the activated carbon filter 44. The activated carbon filter 44 can be pulled out from the inside of the activated carbon adsorber 4. The spring 410 can reset the pressing block 47 after it has been pressed and released. When a new activated carbon filter 44 is inserted into the activated carbon adsorber 4, the front sides of the activated carbon filter 44 push the limiting block 42 open. When the slots 45 on the upper and lower sides of the activated carbon filter 44 move below the limiting block 42, the pushing force on the limiting block 42 disappears. The elasticity of the spring 43 causes the limiting block 42 to rebound into the slot 45. The edge of the limiting block 42 is close to the edge of the slot 45, which limits the activated carbon filter 44, thus completing the automatic locking of the activated carbon filter 44.
[0031] Example 2:
[0032] Please see Figure 1-7 This embodiment provides a technical solution based on embodiment one: the cooling mechanism 2 includes a cooling chimney 21 and a cooler 23. A tail gas collection pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the cooling chimney 21. The end of the tail gas collection pipe 22 away from the cooling chimney 21 is fixedly connected to the extraction device 1. The bottom of the tail gas collection pipe 22 has an inverted conical design. A connecting pipe 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the cooling chimney 21. The end of the connecting pipe 26 away from the cooling chimney 21 is fixedly connected to the activated carbon adsorber 4.
[0033] A cooling coil 24 is fixedly connected inside the cooling chimney 21. The input end of the cooling coil 24 extends out of the cooling chimney 21 and is fixedly connected to the refrigerator 23. A return pipe 25 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cooling coil 24. The end of the return pipe 25 away from the cooling coil 24 is fixedly connected to the refrigerator 23.
[0034] The cooling chimney 21 and the refrigeration unit 23 are both fixedly installed at the top of the recycling pool 3.
[0035] A discharge pipe 31 is fixedly connected to the lower left end of the recycling pool 3, and a valve 32 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the discharge pipe 31.
[0036] A catalytic burner 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe 411 away from the activated carbon adsorber 4. A catalyst carrier 51 is fixedly installed inside the catalytic burner 5, and a combustion chimney 52 is fixedly connected to the top of the catalytic burner 5.
[0037] In this embodiment, the condensable organic matter in the exhaust gas is recovered by the cooling mechanism 2, and the coolant in the cooling coil 24 is cooled by the refrigerator 23. The coolant should be kept at a temperature of about -20°C. When the exhaust gas enters the interior of the cooling chimney 21 through the exhaust gas collection pipe 22, the exhaust gas rises upwards along the cooling coil 24. During the ascent, the exhaust gas exchanges heat with the low-temperature coolant inside the cooling coil 24, causing the temperature of the condensable organic matter to decrease. After reaching the dew point, it gradually liquefies. The liquefied condensable organic matter... Under the influence of gravity, condensable organic matter flows along the cooling coil 24 to the bottom of the cooling chimney 21. Because the bottom of the cooling chimney 21 is conical, the condensable organic matter will automatically flow into the recovery pool 3 at the bottom of the cooling chimney 21. The staff can periodically open the discharge pipe 31 through the valve 32 to recover the condensable organic matter. The exhaust gas after condensation and recovery enters the activated carbon adsorber 4. After the small molecule organic matter is adsorbed by the activated carbon adsorber 4, the exhaust gas enters the catalytic burner 5 and undergoes catalytic combustion at a suitable temperature. After meeting the standards, it is discharged.
